Mike Leach Fired by Texas Tech

Mike Leach has been fired as coach at Texas Tech. His lawyer just made the announcement. Despite the best efforts of his players, Leach is gone. “CBSSports.com has obtained the e-mails of six current and former Texas Tech players and coaches disparaging sophomore Adam James who has alleged he was mistreated by coach Mike Leach. The e-mails apparently were sent on Friday and Saturday, a period during which Leach was being evaluated by the Texas Tech administration. James is alleged to have been mistreated by Leach earlier this month after suffering a mild concussion. In some of the correspondence, James is portrayed as ‘unusually lazy and entitled’ and referred to as ‘a complete jerk.'” [CBS Sports; previously]
